Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration — Every Product and Release Date

Pokémon has revealed the full lineup for Pokémon TCG: 30th Celebration, the set built around the trading card game's 30th anniversary. The main expansion lands September 16, 2026, and the products keep coming through early November, so this one is worth planning around if you collect.

Below is every confirmed product, what's actually inside each one, and the date it releases. Pokémon hasn't announced prices yet, so you won't find any here. When official pricing goes up, we'll add it.

What's in a 30th Celebration booster pack

Every booster pack in the set contains five foil cards plus one foil Basic Energy card. That's a lot of shine for one pack. One of those five foils is always a Pikachu, pulled from 30 different Pikachu illustrations made just for this set.

The expansion also includes illustration rare cards and a smaller subset called the Classic Collection. The Classic Collection gets its own dedicated booster pack, but so far it only shows up inside one product, the Ultra-Premium Collection, which we'll get to.

September 16: launch day

Seven products arrive alongside the main expansion.

The Tech Sticker Collection comes with three booster packs, a foil promo of either Alolan Exeggutor or Lucario, and a matching tech sticker sheet.

Two smaller products share the same contents: the 2-Pack Blister and the Knock Out Collection each include two booster packs, a plastic coin, and a foil Eevee card.

The Poster Collection is the one to grab if you're in it for the artwork. It has three booster packs, foil promos of the three Kanto Legendary birds (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres), and a poster showing images of more than 160 cards from the set.

The Pokémon ex Box features either Sylveon ex or Greninja ex, with the promo included in both a ready-to-play size and an oversized version, plus four booster packs.

Then there are the two Elite Trainer Boxes, which anchor most launch days. The standard Elite Trainer Box has nine booster packs, a full-art Nidorina promo, 65 card sleeves, 16 foil Basic Energy cards, dice, a coin, and a storage box with dividers. The Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Box bumps that to 11 booster packs and two Nidorina promos, one of them stamped with the Pokémon Center logo. I broke down how the two compare in a separate article on the Elite Trainer Boxes.

October 2: binders, bundles, and tins

Three more products follow a couple of weeks later.

The Binder Collection gives you a 9-pocket binder and five booster packs, which is a tidy way to start storing what you pull. The Booster Bundle is exactly what it sounds like: six booster packs, nothing else. And the Mini Tins each hold two booster packs, a sticker sheet, and an art card, with ten different artworks to collect across the range.

October 30: the Battle Decks

Want something you can play straight out of the box? The Battle Decks are it. Each is an all-foil, 60-card deck led by either Espeon ex or Umbreon ex, and each ships with a deck box, a coin, and a playmat. The Espeon ex deck includes an illustration-rare-style Victini; the Umbreon ex deck pairs with a matching Zeraora. Full write-up in the 30th Celebration Battle Decks guide.

November 6: the finale

The last wave carries the collector centerpieces.

The Ditto Premium Collection includes a Ditto promo, an acrylic display, and eight booster packs. The Figure Collection comes with either Mew or Mewtwo as a sculpted figure, a foil promo and an oversized card of the same Pokémon, and five booster packs.

Then the big one. The Ultra-Premium Collection ships in Day and Night versions. Day pairs Pikachu ex with Espeon ex; Night pairs Pikachu ex with Umbreon ex. Either way you get 29 booster packs plus a single Classic Collection booster pack (three Classic Collection cards), a playmat, sleeves, a deck box, and more. It's the largest box in the set by pack count. I went deeper on it in the Ultra-Premium Collection breakdown.
